They assume that if you're girl/woman, most problems are basically "female hysteria"! Not even "it could be [blank], you might want to keep an eye on that and report back if it doesn't go away." Nope! Diagnosis: dramatic. And women die from this shit. Or become disabled / handicapped. Or it affects their long-term future if they want children. It's awful. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] davidagain@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) Some people did a thing with a specially configured tens machine where the woman would turn it the levels up and up until it was at the level of their normal period pain and then the man would go through the same levels stages and be gasping and writhing before it got there. Turns out men have been massively underestimating period pain for centuries. That said, some women experienced far, far higher levels than normal and were encouraged to take that data to a non-dismissive healthcare professional. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 1 point 1 year ago* (1 child) As a dude, I want to believe that it's less than it is because that's just wholly unreasonable that women have to put up with that. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] davidagain@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago They're were a lot of men who insisted on immediate medical attention who got told that their partners had tried that and absolutely nothing would come of it. permalink fedilink source parent
